UJeremiya

33 Ilizwi likaJehova lafika kuJeremiya okwesibili ngesikhathi elokhu evalelwe egumeni labalindi,+ lathi: 2 “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova owenza umhlaba, uJehova owawubumbayo wawumisa waqina, yena obizwa ngokuthi nguJehova, uthi, 3 ‘Ngibizani mina ngizaliphendula, ngihle ngilitshele izinto ezimangalisayo lezingazwisisekiyo ebelingazazi.’”+

4 “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ngezindlu ezisedolobheni leli lezindlu zamakhosi akoJuda, ezidilizwe ngesikhathi idolobho livinjezelwe futhi lihlaselwa ngenkemba.+ 5 Nanku akutshoyo ngabantu abayakulwa lamaKhaledi, begcwalisa izindawo lezi ngezidumbu zalabo engibabuleleyo ngenxa yentukuthelo yami lolaka lwami, labo abenze okubi babangela ukuthi ngingalikhangeli idolobho leli, uthi: 6 ‘Ngizabelapha baqine.+ Ngizabasilisa ngibaphe ukuthula okukhulu leqiniso.+ 7 Ngizaletha abathunjiweyo bakoJuda labako-Israyeli,+ ngibakhe njengalokho engakwenza ekuqaliseni.+ 8 Ngizabahlambulula kuzo zonke izono zabo abazenze kimi,+ ngibathethelele zonke izono zabo leziphambeko zabo.+ 9 Ibizo leJerusalema lizakwenza ngithokoze kakhulu. Lizakwenza ukuthi zonke izizwe ezisemhlabeni ezizakuzwa ngakho konke okuhle engikwenzele abantu bami+ zingidumise futhi zingikhazimulise. Zizakwesaba ziqhuqhe+ ngenxa yakho konke okuhle engikwenzele abantu bami kanye lokuthula engibanike khona.’”+

10 “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova: ‘Endaweni le elithi isiyinkangala engelamuntu loba isifuyo, emadolobheni akoJuda angasahlali muntu lasemigwaqweni yeJerusalema engelabantu loba izifuyo, kuzaphinda kuzwakale 11 umsindo wokuthokoza lokujabula,+ lelizwi lomyeni lelikamakoti lelalabo abathi: “Bongani uJehova wamabutho ngoba uJehova muhle.+ Uthando lwakhe oluqotho luhlala kuze kube nini lanini!”’+

“‘Bazaletha iminikelo yokubonga endlini kaJehova,+ ngoba ngizaphendukisa abathunjiweyo bazohlala elizweni leli njengoba kwakunjalo ekuqaleni,’ kutsho uJehova.”

12 “UJehova wamabutho uthi: ‘Elizweni leli eliyinkangala engelamuntu loba isifuyo, lakuwo wonke amadolobho alo kuzaphinda kube lamadlelo lapho abelusi abazakwelusela khona imihlambi yabo.’+

13 “‘Emadolobheni asezintabeni, lasemadolobheni asezindaweni eziphansi, lasemadolobheni aseningizimu, elizweni lakoBhenjamini, lasezindaweni ezisemangweni weJerusalema,+ lasemadolobheni akoJuda,+ imihlambi izaphinda idlule ngaphansi kwesandla salowo oyibalayo,’ kutsho uJehova.”

14 “UJehova uthi, ‘Ziyeza insuku lapho engizagcwalisa khona isithembiso esihle engasenzayo mayelana labako-Israyeli labakoJuda.+ 15 Ngalezonsuku langalesosikhathi ngizahlumisela uDavida ihlumela elihle*+ futhi lizakwahlulela kuhle, lenze okulungileyo elizweni.+ 16 Ngensuku lezo abakoJuda bazasindiswa+ njalo abantu beJerusalema bazahlala bevikelekile.+ IJerusalema izabizwa ngebizo elitsho ukuthi uJehova uyikulunga kwethu.’”+

17 “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova: ‘Akusoze kuswelakale umuntu wosendo lukaDavida ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sako-Israyeli.+ 18 Lakubaphristi abangamaLevi akusoze kuswelakale umuntu ozakuma phambi kwami ukuze anikele iminikelo yokutshiswa egcweleyo, atshise leminikelo yamabele kanye lemihlatshelo.’”

19 Ilizwi likaJehova laphinda lafika kuJeremiya lathi: 20 “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova, ‘Njengoba nje lingeke lenelise ukwephula isivumelwano engasenza lelanga, lesivumelwano engasenza lobusuku, lenze ukuthi kungabi lelanga kumbe ubusuku ngesikhathi esifaneleyo,+ 21 ngeke lenelise ukwephula isivumelwano engasenza lenceku yami uDavida,+ lenze ukuthi kungabi lendodana yakhe ezahlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi ibuse.+ Alisoze lenelise lokwephula isivumelwano sami labaphristi abangamaLevi, abenza inkonzo engcwele phambi kwami.+ 22 Njengoba nje ibutho elisemazulwini* lingeke libalwe, letshebetshebe eselwandle ingeke ilinganiswe, ngizazandisa zibe njalo izizukulwane zenceku yami uDavida kanye lamaLevi enza inkonzo engcwele phambi kwami.’”

23 Ilizwi likaJehova laphinda lafika kuJeremiya lathi: 24 “Uyabezwa yini abantu laba abathi, ‘UJehova uzazilahla imuli ezimbili ayezikhethile’? Beyisa abantu bami njalo abababoni beyisizwe.

25 “UJehova uthi: ‘Njengoba nje ngenza isivumelwano esiqinileyo lelanga lobusuku+ ngabeka lemithetho eqondisa amazulu lomhlaba,+ 26 angisoze ngizilahle izizukulwane zikaJakhobe lezenceku yami uDavida, ngenze ukuthi kuswelakale abosendo lwakhe abazabusa izizukulwane zika-Abrahama lo-Isaka loJakhobe. Ngizaqoqa abathunjiweyo+ babo ngibe lesihawu kubo.’”+
